Armed men invade North Valley apartment building

PEORIA — Two men armed with handguns kicked down the front door of an apartment building in the North Valley on Tuesday, according to a Peoria police report.

A witness inside one of the apartments told police a vehicle pulled up in front of the building in the 500 block of Voris Street just before 7:30 p.m. Two men got out and each pulled a handgun from the trunk before tucking them into their waistbands, according to the report.

The witness reported hearing a series of loud, banging noises as the front door to the building was kicked down. The two men went toward a unit and began banging on a door while yelling for someone to open it, according to the report. After knocking loudly on several other doors, the two men fled.
